Memorial Day Weekend

This weekend we were blessed to be able to spend the weekend in Austin at Grandma and Grandpa Austin's lake house. The boys love going to Austin. When we arrived to the house late on Friday night James woke up after sleeping for the entire trip and ran into the house looking for his bed an for 'Big George'. The weekend was full of fun but the highlight was the boys first trip out on Grandpa's boat.

On Saturday Grandpa and Uncle Topher went down to the marina and worked on the boat to see if they could get it running. They were so excited when they came back because they were able to fix the boat and so we decided we would go out for a boat ride once the weather cooled off a bit. Around 5:30 we got the boys all dressed for the boat and loaded up. While driving down to the marina my dad called to have our boat launched and they told him they were done launching boats for the day. We knew James would be devastated if we didn't get to go on the boat so we decided to drive down to Lakeway marina to see the water and boats.

James insisted on wanting to put his feet in the water. So Nathan and Grandpa dangled him off the dock to let him get his toes in the Lake.

Take two. Sunday morning we woke up early to go out on the boat. James was sooooo excited to get on the boat, finally!! I thought John Patrick should have been miserable in his life jacket but he loved it and fell right to sleep once on the boat.

Too cool
